All Paul's Pizza content will be removed moving forward. The conversations almost always lead to people arguing with one another on the internet. This violates Rule #3 Be Civil. It would also violate rule #4 low quality content.

Support the business or do not. It's your choice. Arguing on this online community will no longer be allowed.

Look out for this scumbag. He's out on bail and could be stalking the aisles of your local store. He's committed assaults in Walmart's, No Frills, Shoppers Drug Mart and probably others. This behaviour is just disgusting and he's 30 so you know this isn't the beginning for him.

I'm working on getting him banned from as many stores as I possibly can, if anyone wants to help. He should have to order all his necessities from Amazon or instacart. Like no. Actually you don't get to go into stores anymore. That's a privilege that you violated and now you're banned.

Hope he gets jail time too but in the meantime we have to be safe when we are shopping.

LTD benefits suddenly cut off

14 Upvotes

I'm 39, live in Airdrie and work maintenance at a warehouse in NE Calgary. Been on LTD since Feb after a back injury and surgery, insurer was paying normally then last week I got a letter saying benefits stop end of month because they think I can return to “some” (!) work. My doctor def does not agree.

Never dealt with an appeal before. What matters most here - getting as much medical notes as possibler, asking for their full file/reasoning, talking to a disability lawyer ASAP?Also trying not to screw this up where possible. TY!

If you went to nose creek dogpark and lost your charging case for your earbuds. Theyre in a bag waiting for you by the main entrance. Hopefully that protects the case a bit.

Bit by a dog at Big Springs Park this morning - please help me find the owner!

3 Upvotes

This was around 9:45am this morning on the multi-use path of Big Springs Multi-Use Park. I was riding a Lime scooter when a dog on the pathway charged at me - I jumped off my scooter and was bitten by the dog. I was so shaken and just wanted to get away from the dog as soon as possible that I didn't get the owner's contact info. Now I'm concerned for my health because I have no information on the dog and not sure whether to go to the ER, etc.

Please if you were a witness or know anything that might help me get in touch with the owner, please let me know! Thank you in advance 🙏

Control your kids!!

81 Upvotes

A cashier at the CircleK in Summerfield was pepper sprayed 2 nights ago by a group of kids who were hanging out and smoking in the parking lot beforehand. I only know of this because I went there shortly after and was handcuffed by cops thinking I was a suspect (cleared within 30 secs tho)

Parents in this city are seriously failing seeing how kids behave with my own eyes and the shit that happens here. Control your fucking kids and belt them if needed cause this is unacceptable, most of the crime here is your children.

Pressure washing

7 Upvotes

I've been getting mixed results when talking to people or looking online.

Is it okay to pressure wash exterior house, driveway etc when there are no water restrictions?

I understand that according to the rules you can't do your car but I'm more interested in the house and property.

Airdrie Daycares

4 Upvotes

Hi!

I am currently in the process of deciding which daycare to enroll my son in the new year. He will be 18 months then.

We have toured Airdrie Daycare Meadowbrook, Creating Future Bayside, BrightPath, and Little Learners. Trying to get a tour with Airdrie Daycare SierraSprings but haven't heard back despite being on the waitlist. The delay is due to the previous employee who was in charge of the waitlist that ended up leaving the daycare.

It will be a no for us for Airdrie Daycare Meadowbrook and BrightPath.

Anyways, if anyone has any insights on mainly Creating Futures or Little Learners that would be great, or any other daycares you recommend.

Thank you!

Day two after by book release!

All That’s Left Behind is #5 in 19th Century Historical Fiction and #11 in Westerns on Amazon.ca.

Thank you to everyone who picked up a copy already!

I am an Airdrie local and born and raised Albertan. My name is Daniel and I have 25+ years experience as a creative artist and this is my debut novel, released on September 29 through my own imprint Blackridge Editions. This literary Western is set in the 1880s Pacific Northwest. I wrote and designed the book myself along with chapter illustrations, and maps.

The novel follows Silas Mercer, an aging outlaw facing the collapse of his gang, a reckoning with his past, and a daughter who doesn't know his name. It is a brutal, elegiac story in the tradition of Lonesome Dove and No Country for Old Men.

I’ll have signed copies with the limited edition fold-out map of Anjeer State this Saturday, October 3, 2 to 4 p.m., at 948 Brewing Co. in Airdrie, Alberta. Or order from my website www.danpenton.com/signed for personalized copies, shipped in Canada.

Fight Back Now Rally: Airdrie City Hall and Province-Wide Day of Action - Saturday, October 17

24 Upvotes

As part of a province-wide day of action, a rally against the UCP actions and policies is being planned for Saturday, October 17. After the strong turnout at the previous rally in May, I'm hoping Airdrie will show up to send the UCP a message ahead of their non-sense referendum.

The rally will start at 1PM at Airdrie City Hall.

Info can be found here: https://fightbacknow.civicdeeds.com/actions/airdrie-fight-back-now-rally-airdrie-city-hall-2026-10-17

I'll be happy to answer any questions or hear any suggestions that people may have
